Let me start by saying that Oprah's LifeClass is one of the most uplifting, real, pure, raw, inspiring, and rewarding shows on television. I have to be honest when I say I was never a huge fan of any daytime television. I rarely got to watch it. This is mainly because I was never home. When I watched television it was mostly in the evening. I always heard raves about Oprah's talk show and how amazing of a person she was. I never realized until I started watching OWN and checking out the website how much she has done, who she is, and how big of an inspiration she has always been. There are just some people in this world that are made to create joy in a special way for others. People look up to them and hang on every word.

I have had several Aha moments watching her show. I felt as if I was supposed to be watching it. It is a sort of therapy for me in a way to be hearing some of my stories through another's words where I could relate. We forget that it is not just us that go through things day in and day out. There are others out there like us. I am not unique and nobody else is either. There are those rare cases of course where you almost wonder how could there be somebody who has it worse. The truth is, it is out there.

Oprah's Lifeclass does so much more than just talk about life changing moments. It actually brings you into the lives of these people. You are watching clips and hearing their stories. While you are watching this show Oprah gives you a little insight into her personal life, life quotes from herself and others, and profound inspirational statements in just a few simple words. You don't have to have a PhD in psychology to change lives or make a difference. It is nice to see a show on television that deals with REAL life and what many are going through or have been through everyday.

Life is not easy, especially in today's society. It is the little things that give us hope and change the way we view what is around us. You really need to check out the website and the show to understand what I am saying. You will realize in seconds that this is a show everybody should be watching. It will make you both laugh and cry. There are sad moments, angry moments, and great moments of happiness and joy. The website provides you with a section for notes and a journal, videos you can upload for your Aha moments, comments you can post, questions of day that can be posted on Twitter as well.
